On July 14, mediabistro.com hosted a cocktail party at Grey Gallery & Lounge, where My So-Called Freelance Life and The Anti 9-to-5 Guide author Michelle Goodman and freelance writer and radio commentator Crai S. Bower greeted media friends in Seattle. Grey Gallery & Lounge offered drink specials and appetizers to the guests, and the chic spot is one we'll be sure to visit again.
